Abstract
|
The development of the commercial fishing industry in Tobago is running ahead of the State’s efforts to put in place the necessary physical infrastructure and support services that must complement private sector entrepreneurship and investment if the industry is to continue to survive and prosper. The industry’s stakeholders have been providing the best they could for themselves while they await the implementation of governments plans to provide them with beach facilities and accesses. They have erected small buildings as close as possible to the sea where their boats are moored at the historic landing sites around the island’s coast. Recently, due to tourism related developments; both private tourism developers and the state are contesting the use of many of these sites utilized by fisherfolk, reef-tour operators and other stakeholders operating in the Buccoo Reef Marine Park area.
Fisherfolk and other stakeholders are being asked to move or are being moved to make way for the new tertiary industry. The fisherfolk believes that this is both unfair and unjust. Fisherfolk claim that they want to cooperate, co-exist and share the waterfront with the newcomers as they have been doing all along. They now call for urgent government intervention (both at the local and national levels) to provide security of tenure for their beach sheds until the promised public facilities are built and made available to them. They also contend that as part of the right to continue to occupy the sections of the beaches (seafrontage), that they must also have the right of free public access to these sites. The fisherfolk express their confidence that the government can solve this conflict, and that it may find The Three Chains (Tobago) Act very useful in this exercise. The following is a brief account of the background to the use of Pigeon Point and the present impasse re access to Wind Hole, Pigeon Point.
